God makes his home in you

God makes his home in you. They are not empty words. It is true. "Make your home in me, as I make mine in you." This is prayer. Isn't this the answer to all our yearning, our searching, our anguish, to all the longing, the incompleteness of our lives and of our loving? Until we dwell in him and allow him to dwell in us we shall be strangers to peace.

Thanks for this, Jan. I preached on this a few years ago at about this time of year, and I'm going to add this quote to that file.

Hope you're having a great day in Alaska!
